Help me with solids and daycare?

This is going to take a super long time to type out, but I'm going to put the daycare menu for the entire month in this post.  I'm adding a second solid meal next week, so that means eating at daycare.  The plan is to just highlight the items on the daycare menu that are ok for baby and not send anything from home but now I'm not sure how much of the daycare menu I like for her age (high in sodium?) and the control freak in me is not sure they'll cut it the "right" shape.  Unless it specifically says "fresh" fruits and veggies are canned (except the orange slices, which are fresh).  The trail mix does not contain nuts

Week 1:

Monday
B-Cereal, Fresh Fruit
S1-Apple slices with soy nut butter
L-BBQ Chicken, Salad, Pineapple
S2-Whole Grain Granola Bar

Tuesday
B-Whole grain french toast, fresh fruit
S1-Pretzels and juice
L-Creamy shells and cheese, mixed veggies, tropical fruit
S2-Fresh veggies w/ hummus

Wednesday
B-Muffins, fresh fruit
S1-apple sauce
L-Sloppy joes, salad, diced peaches
S2-Fresh fruit

Thursday
B-Oatmeal with raisins
S1-Animal crackers and juice
L-turkey on wheat bread, green beans, diced pears
S2-fresh veggies w/ ranch dressing

Friday
B-Cereal, fresh fruit
S1-yogurt with granola
L-english muffin cheese pizza, corn, orange slices
S2-homemade trail mix

Ok, I lied.  I'm only typing the first week.  This is way too much work.  Any thoughts on the types of foods that I should ok?  Should I send some from home?

Re: Help me with solids and daycare?

  •  excuse the errors, i have one arm stuck under a toddler.

    monday - fresh fruit and apple slices

    tuesday - thefrench toast, fresh fruit and veggies

    wednesday - small portion of themuffin (i'm assuming it isn't chocolate), fresh fruit

    thursday - turkey on wheat, fresh veggies

    friday - fresh fruit

    I don't do canned fruits and veggies with my kids because of the sodium and BPA so i'd skip that.  I'd do yogurt and oatmeal, but i know you do BLW so I don't know how that would work.  Everything else seems to be foods I wouldn't offer until LO was over a year.

  • Mon- Cereal (if it's cheerios), fresh fruit, apples

    Tue- french toast, fresh fruit, fresh veggies with hummus

    Wed- muffins, fresh fruit, applesauce

    Thur- oatmeal, turkey, fresh veggies

    Fri- cereal (again if its something like Cheerios), fresh fruit, yogurt

    I stay away from canned veggies becauseof sodium and canned fruit because they syrup adds a lot of sugar.

  • Thanks guys!  I sent replacements for the canned stuff for DS for a long time (until he was 2) for the reasons you guys have listed.  I'm not sure I'm ok with the turkey.  deli meat = super unhealthy and gross.  But I think I'm probably ok with the BBQ chicken.  That's something I'd give her at home, but I'd also know exactly how it was prepared.  Cereal = cheerios or rice krispies.  We do BLW, but yogurt or oatmeal is fine.  I'd probably ask them to give her a spoon and try to self feed :)

    No juice or canned fruit as others have said but otherwise ok. And I agree with deli meat (nitrates and such scare me)

  • After saying yay to the turkey I thought about it again.  We rarely have lunch meat in our house (we just use leftover meat in sandwiches and wraps) so I never pay attention to what is in it.
